I am fascinated by the new Mix-Ability Challenge and every week I religiously check out Friday's post and every weekend I vow that this will be the weekend that I create something for it - it only took me 18 weeks to follow through!
For this little piece of canvas art, I mod-podged white tissue paper on cardstock making sure to be sloppy with it so it would crease and wrinkle for some texture. Then I watercolored on some green and blue paint. Then I slapped on some pink and white paint, but instead of outlining my flowers with a marker over the paint, I stamped them. Lastly I added some depth with a few markers.
I'm so happy to have this challenge! Thanks so much

This is really lovely! The print BG really sets off your wonderful focal image and I love the stripes on the side of the canvas!
Now that you've MIXed once, you're going to have to keep going ;-)!

What a fabulous start! This is just fantastic, and you've made that stamp look LOTS better than I ever have! Now you have six days to try some of the others before our next challenge, LOL!
